Do the shop owner/manager the courtesy of letting him know what happened, that you weren't aware of the cost and you feel he would like to know how one of his techs handled a problem and that you plan to never use his shop again. That isn't a threat it is an opportunity for him to man up and ask what he can do to make you happy. That is when you ask for the shop to pay for the part. Of course, you still have the option of never using that shop again (which sounds like a good idea). Do your fellow motorists a favor by giving the owner/mgr a chance to correct a problem he might not be aware of.
